Lot 437
1817 N-4 R3+ VF20. Reverse Brockage. Nice glossy medium brown. The only marks are a fine hairline scratch from the dentils at S-O to the top of C in CENT (on the normal side) and a small struck-through void at the center dot on the brockage side. Otherwise choice for the grade. EDS before any die crack. The die state guarantees this brockage was made while striking the N-4 marriage, rather than the N-14 or N-5 which also use this die. An attractive example of this impressive type of mint error. DWH #0397.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
